Parasitic wasp (parasitic wasp)

Japanese: ヤドリバチ(寄生蜂) - ヤドリバチ(英語表記)parasitic wasp
Parasitic wasp (parasitic wasp)
Also called parasitic wasps or parasitic wasps. A general term for wasps that live by parasitizing other insects or spiders, among the insects of the Hymenoptera order. Taxonomically, most of the Acanthoptera, primitive sword-shaped insects, and some platypus insects live a parasitic life, and all of them are called parasitic wasps. Unlike the usual parasitism caused by protozoans, nematodes, and worms, in the case of wasps, the parasites ultimately kill and eat the target organism (host).
